Karen: What shoes are you wearing?
Susan: My new ones, why?
k: I was going to wear them if you weren't.
s: oh, you can. I'll wear my black ones
k: no, no. I was only going to wear them if you didn't
s: no big deal, you wear them.
(a few minutes later in the car)
s: I hope you're enjoying those shoes, cause I have white socks on with black shoes
k: Um, maybe we should switch socks... (pulls up pant leg, to show gray and black trouser socks.)
s: No way, my feet were cold all day yesterday, and I wore thick socks to stay warm. Besides, I am a sharer, and I have shared my shoes, damn it!
k: So you're selfish about socks, then.
s: Well, technically, these are your socks too.
(pensive silence)
